I have to agree with some of what is said in the article, everybody thinks that just because a hybrid gets better gas mileage than the average car, you should be in awe. But the truth is that unless a hybrid can beat the equivalent non-hybrid car by a factor of 3 or more, it's not that impressive. Yes I own a hybrid so spare me that I don't know what I'm talking about angle. The technology is there to make my numbers look pitiful and until I see those impressive numbers, a hybrid is just a gimic.
